But not me. Tonight it is cloudy here in Memphis. But even if it weren't cloudy, the light pollution here is so bad I couldn't see this anyway. My subdivision was annexed by the city of Memphis this year which doubled my taxes. Along with the taxes came street lights. From my driveway I now see seven to the right and seven to the left.
AT least they are sodium colored and not glaring white. But still, it is almost like daylight outside. We no longer need nightlights in the house as light streams through all the windows on the street side of the house.
